Web Festivals...

So I just saw they announced the winners of the Webby Awards.  I totally missed it!   I'd love to see what people consider the "Best" of Web Series, and maybe even be able to submit to other festivals. What other awards/festivals/contests are out there and when are they held?

The New Media Film Festival in Los Angeles is one (their deadline has just passed). Banff has a web series competition (again, deadline is just passed).

There is one in NYC, but I can't put my hands on the URL right now. Keep looking, more and more Film Fests are adding a Web Series component.

 

My series, Sweet Tarts Takeaway was lucky enough to be nominated for Audience Choice Award at the NMFF. Please consider watching and voting for us. :-)

What I found interesing about the Webbys was that in the drama category, there were several truly independent productions (i.e., not made by "famous" industry types), such as the excellent "Out With Dad". However, looking at the comedy nominees, they were all offerrings from established powerhouses such as NBC and Funny or Die. That's not to say they shouldn't be nominated, I just wonder what it says about the world of comedy and web series development.

 

Cheers!
